Parramatta Eels team news
A significant injury and suspension crisis has decimated the Eels' playmaking spine. Captain and halfback Mitchell Moses is out with a calf injury, and five-eighth Dylan Brown is suspended. This forces a makeshift half pairing of Joash Papalii and Dean Hawkins. Winger Zac Lomax is expected to play after his State of Origin duties.

Parramatta Eels vs Gold Coast Titans prediction
The Parramatta Eels (16th) are in a dire situation, having lost their last two games before the bye against the Bulldogs (30-12) and the Panthers (18-10).
Winger Josh Addo-Carr has been a standout for the Eels, scoring eight tries in 11 appearances this season.
The Gold Coast Titans (17th) come to Sydney with renewed confidence after a convincing 28-8 victory over the Manly Sea Eagles, which broke a three-game losing streak.
Playmaker AJ Brimson has been a constant threat, scoring seven tries in 12 games.
The rivalry is evenly poised, with both teams having won 13 of their 26 encounters. The most recent clash ended in a win for the Titans by 8 points.
The Eels' chances are severely hampered by the absence of their entire first-choice halves pairing. For a team already struggling to score points, a modest 17 per game, the task certainly gets no easier.
